Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

One of the soldiers waved his hand impatiently, looking like he was about to chase them away, muttering, "Our Third Young Master is busy with myriad affairs; where would he find the leisure to read your letter!"

Seeing this, the corner of Yan Wang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. He said unhurriedly, "Beilin Kingdom has been defeated, and I have manpower here that your Third Young Master can certainly use. If you delay important business, don't blame me for not warning you — I'm afraid neither of your heads will be safe!"

Hearing Yan Wang's words, the two soldiers' faces changed instantly. They glanced at each other and immediately understood each other perfectly. One soldier hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I'll take the letter in for you. You wait here a moment."

Yan Wang nodded in satisfaction, said nothing more, and stood quietly waiting.

That soldier dared not delay in the slightest, immediately taking the letter and walking quickly to the entrance of Li Jun's tent.

He first bowed respectfully to the soldier guarding outside the tent and said, "Please go in and report that someone has delivered a letter, saying they can help the Third Young Master."

After that soldier went in to report, he carefully carried the letter inside.

Li Jun was sitting in the tent handling affairs. Hearing the report, he looked up curiously. When he saw the soldier kneeling before him, he asked doubtfully, "What is it?"

The soldier hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the Third Young Master, there is someone outside who says he has manpower that can be of help to you, so he had this subordinate present this letter to you."

Li Jun's interest was piqued at once. He said with great interest, "Oh? There is such a thing?" Finishing his words, he stood up, walked quickly to the soldier, and took the letter from his hand.

The more he read, the more alarmed he became. He thought secretly, "This person's identity is certainly extraordinary; I absolutely cannot slight him." Thinking this, he immediately ordered the soldier, "Quickly invite the person in!"

Hearing the command, the soldier felt pardoned; the great weight in his heart finally settled.

He knew well that the person before him was crucial to the Third Young Master, and his guess had indeed been correct.

So he dared not delay in the slightest, hurriedly walking quickly to the camp entrance to welcome Yan Wang inside.

Yan Wang arrived at the entrance of Third Young Master Li Jun's camp. The soldier said nothing further and directly let him pass.

Yan Wang stepped inside. Just as he entered the camp, he saw Li Jun sitting on a chair. He was not the least bit restrained, casually finding a stool to sit down, then looking at Li Jun with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Jun felt slightly surprised but did not show it. He sized up Yan Wang, seeing a man of dignified appearance, steady temperament, and a majestic air between his brows.

Li Jun spoke first: "Who might you be, sir?"

Yan Wang did not beat around the bush, answering directly: "Pingding King, Yan Wang."

The moment his words fell, Li Jun couldn't help but freeze for a moment. He naturally knew of that fierce battle between Dachang and Nan Liang, and the commander was precisely Yan Wang.

Although the Pingding King's reputation was not as resounding as An Wang's, Li Jun himself harbored ambitions for the throne, so he naturally paid close attention to the situation of various nations, and had therefore heard of the Pingding King's name.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Li Jun quickly regained his composure. He looked straight into Yan Wang's eyes and voiced the doubt in his heart: "Why me?"

Yan Wang replied: "Ouyang Chengqi has committed countless evils. Dachang has long been dissatisfied with Xishang Kingdom and has long wanted to eliminate them.

It's just that Ouyang Chengren is too strong to deal with. And Crown Prince Li Jing is somewhat arrogant, unlikely to cooperate with us.

However, you are different from him. Your origins are not prominent. If you want to ascend to that position, the outcome of this battle is crucial to you. You need a legitimate reason to sit securely in that position; therefore, you will definitely do your utmost to strive for victory in this battle."

Li Jun nodded in agreement. He was a cautious person and naturally would not easily believe Yan Wang's words.

So he continued to press: "But I dare not rashly believe you."

Yan Wang seemed to have long anticipated this question. He spoke unhurriedly: "Even if you don't believe me now, it's of no avail. With the remaining forces in your hand, defeating Ouyang Chengren is almost impossible. So only I can help you."

Li Jun knew clearly in his heart that Ouyang Chengren had campaigned abroad year-round, accumulating rich combat experience, which he himself could not match.

Moreover, the forces in Ouyang Chengren's hand were currently about equal to his own side; wanting to defeat him was almost impossible.

Therefore, Dachang's army was like a lifesaving straw to him. Even with doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to choose to believe.

Li Jun sighed helplessly, as if he had already compromised, and said slowly: "I hope the Pingding King keeps his promise. May our cooperation be pleasant."

Seeing this, the corner of Yan Wang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hard-to-detect smile, then he nodded in agreement.

Next, Yan Wang continued to explain the subsequent plan to Li Jun. Li Jun listened carefully, nodding from time to time, secretly pondering the feasibility of this plan.

He couldn't help but admire Yan Wang's intelligence and talent, while simultaneously calculating in his heart: if he truly opposed Yan Wang, how much chance of victory would his side have.

Li Jun thought that although he was currently cooperating with Yan Wang, as time passed, he should be able to gradually figure out Yan Wang's combat habits and strategies.

That way, even if one day in the future he truly needed to have a showdown with him, he would not be too passive.

Both harbored their own thoughts. Although they had reached a certain consensus on the surface, in reality each had their own private calculations.

After a round of discussion, Yan Wang decisively turned and left, as if everything was under his control.

Just as Yan Wang had predicted, the next day Li Jun launched the war without hesitation. At the same time, Yan Wang's side had also long been fully prepared, standing ready in battle array.

However, Qianqian being a girl, Yan Wang truly couldn't bear to let her be drawn into this cruel war.

So he decided to send Qianqian and Luo Shun to a nearby city, where he found an inn for them to stay temporarily.

In the inn, Yan Wang told Qianqian and Luo Shun that once matters on his side were finished, he would immediately return to meet up with them. Or, if Qianqian felt unsafe, she could also take Luo Shun and leave first, returning to Dachang.

Qianqian naturally was unwilling to leave; her heart was always concerned for Yan Wang's safety.

She worried that if Yan Wang encountered any mishap on the battlefield, she would be far away in Dachang, unable to rush back in time to help.

So, despite some reluctance in her heart, Qianqian still obeyed Yan Wang's arrangement and stayed in the inn with Luo Shun.
